* OurDragonsAreDifferent: A relative of King Ghidorah, but a quadruped who sucks life energy out of the environment instead of outright destroying things and eating people.

* OurDragonsAreDifferent: A relative of King Ghidorah, but a quadruped who breathes fire instead of gravity waves and sucks life energy out of the environment instead of outright destroying things and eating people.

* AdaptationalBadass: The Fairies. In most Mothra films, their only real ability is to summon Mothra. In this film and it's series, they're not only capable of magic on their own, but have Fairy Mothra to help them out.

Mothra returned from the Toho break with ''Film/GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth.'' The film made a lot of money and there was a lot of new demands for Mothra. In 1996 a new trilogy started staring Mothra and titled 'Rebirth of Mothra.' The trilogy has no connection to the Heisei Godzilla series and implimented a lot of changes. For example, the fairies are regular sisters with their own personalities called Moll and Lora and they have a third sister of malevolent nature called Belvera. The star is a male Mothra called Leo, who has a lot of powers and goes through NewPowersAsThePlotDemands. This film introduces an environmental message and a focus on children. While these aren't bad concepts in and of themselves, people weren't expecting them in Mothra and this film wasn't well recieved as a result. Nevertheless, it did well enough at the box office to produce two more films.

Before the battle ends, someone is going to die...
